Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Mechanicsville, VA

"I put in two requests-for-quote on Tuesday 15 January. Within hours, Mr. Handyman of Richmond responded to my requests--and to this date the other two have not. The description by the telephone receptionist impressed me from the beginning: one company, not a contractor with subcontractors, recognizable to any homeowner and recognized in the industry. I accepted the quote, because frankly I was in a hurry to get the job done. The technician did the first job within hours. This included driving out to buy new doorknobs and deadbolts, plus a key-lockable and re-key-able front-door latch and deadbolt set. At the end of the job I had doorknobs that would stay on without coming off in my hand (as the originals did--twice), and four doors all on the same key. I also had a new deadbolt on the garage door and a front door that I could double lock. While he was here I asked him to see to a seam that had opened in some drywall, and remounting a toilet paper dispenser in a bathroom. The second job he finished in about five minutes; the first he agreed to come back for. On the second day he called his office to have them call me--this because I was too far away to hear him knock. So when I let him in, I suggested now would be a good time to install a wireless door chime and ringer set, and to repair a front-porch fixture I had never been able to unscrew. Note: I suggested these extra jobs; he did not push them on me. Except for my having to make two trips to a nearby hardware store to buy some batteries, he did all the work in record time. And because one of these jobs required letting some drywall mud dry before sanding, he was able to complete all these jobs at very little extra charge--because his company charges by the man-hour and materials, whatever the job happens to be. By using his time effectively and efficiently, I saved. The results are everything I could ask for, and getting all these jobs done is a special boon, particularly since I'm planning a long road trip. If I run across any other little thing that needs doing, I'll definitely call Mr. Handyman of Richmond first. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone having a little project."

"Very well, we are quite happy. Small crew with the owner involved, and with pride in their work, paying attention to even small details."

"Very friendly to work with and very conscientious about the work they do. They did a great job on the various repairs that we needed. I will be calling them for any future needs as well!"

"I worked with Baxter Safe Homes on a full renovation of my house, and they were incredible from start to finish. Every piece of the work was done with care and attention to detail."

"This was the second major job I hired this company for. The first was the addition of a screened- in deck and patio addition in 2017. Both times they were professional, on time,and quality of work was outstanding. I will not hesitate to hire them for future projects."

"My husband and I realized our crawl space was flooded and couldn't figure out where/how to turn off the main water line coming into our house. Brendan Julian has helped us numerous times in the past with household improvements and repairs. I luckily had the great idea to call him for assistance. Due to the emergency situation, he was at our house in maybe half an hour--incredible. Brendan found the main water valve, which was buried under a few inches of mulch, by looking at where the valve was in our neighbor's yard. Brendan knew how to turn off the water and the emergency was resolved. Later that day we called Brendan to ask how to get the sump pump we bought to pump out the crawlspace (only type of pump available at Home Depot) to turn on. We couldn't figure this out after reading the pump instructions several times and watching some YouTube videos. Brendan gave us the critical missing instruction--the float has to be higher than the pump to work--and the sump pump roared to life. Second problem solved. Several days later once the crawlspace dried out, Brendan came out to try and repair our land line phone line which had stopped working when the crawlspace flooded. Brendan found that the phone line hadn't been properly tied up by the original installer 15 years ago and had shorted out from the flooding. Brendan repaired the line, properly tied it up, and the phone started working. Third problem solved. Thank goodness for Brendan Julian. He is awesome!"

"Shortly after the initial contact, Mr. Will Williamson was performing an estimate and we discussed how to best accomplish the job - which was a to paint the whole exterior of my 2-story colonial and do some minor wood siding and window repair. After approval, the Top Gun team was on site within a day, doing preparation for the next day when painting began. The Top Gun Team was staffed by seasoned professionals and the results show it. They were responsive to our needs and committed to doing a great job. We are very pleased with quality of the job and the quality of the people working for Top Gun. If we need another painting job in the Richmond area, I will call Will Williamson and the Top Gun Team."

"I am so glad I selected Professional Home Services. Mike and his crew conduct themselves in a professional manner from beginning to the end. They really know their stuff when it comes to roofing and other home repairs. After replacing my roof almost a year later I had another issue, my gutter fell due to a snow storm. I called Mike and he was there to help in no time. The quality of the work was very impressive. When it came to being prompt, honestly and professionalism, I could have not choose a better contractor. Deborah B."

"Jerry and his team helped us when another company had a problem installing a new dishwasher in our kitchen. A previous owner of the home renovated the kitchen but blocked the dishwasher in with the new flooring and countertop, and the other company could not get the old dishwasher out. Square Deal was able to walk us through our options to solve this issue and was able and willing to help us execute any of them. In the end, we had them fix the old installation's plumbing issues and are keeping the existing dishwasher for now, but now know what we face when we do replace it. It was a tricky situation and I was so thankful they took the time to help us even though it wasn't a major job -- but we needed the expertise they had in order to address the problems (carpentry, plumbing, appliance issues). I was beyond impressed by their customer service and they are clearly experts in the difference between a quality renovation and a slip-shod one. They are dedicated to high quality work, responded quickly and treated us like important clients even though it was a minor job. I would absolutely turn to them for a bigger job, and was beyond impressed."
